Who is Talk Tech With Me For?

Talk Tech With Me is a place where I reflect and share resources for other technology coaches and teachers who seek technology integration support. I believe learning is social, so please Talk Tech With Me! Comment on posts with your own ideas, questions and thoughts.

About Me

From the moment I entered my first year of preschool at age three, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. I grew up holding on strong to this idea: playing "school" as a child, getting teachers' advice for great undergrad programs and finally graduating from Northern Kentucky University with a B.A. in Secondary Education. Life had gone exactly according to plan!

And then reality hit.

The economy was down, teaching jobs were hard to come by, and I started wondering if I had made the right choice with my career goals as a three-year-old. Needless to say, panic mode set in and some serious soul searching began.

A couple years and jobs in higher education later, I realized K12 education was
precisely where I belong. That soul searching I mentioned earlier led me to realize my hobby and interests could turn into a career. So I began my M.A. in Education with a concentration in Instructional Computer Technology. I literally felt the weight of all my career worry and woes lifted from my shoulders. I could rest easy again knowing I had a worthwhile goal to work toward.

A few more months down the road, another opportunity came knocking at my door (or I went chasing after it, full speed ahead). I accepted the Director of Educational Technology position at Archbishop McNicholas High School.

After a couple of years in a 1:1 high school and completing my masters degree, I saw another opportunity working at the district level. I began working for Middletown City School District as an instructional technology and web presence specialist.

After some time in Middletown, I had another opportunity to affect change in even more teachers. In 2015 I began working for Forward Edge, in a K12 technology solutions company, as the Director of Curriculum and Technology Integration. Here, I am lucky enough to work with multiple districts to help them assess their current level of technology integration into the classroom, develop a professional development plan, and implement the plan (in a nut shell). I oversee a team of 10+ instructional design coaches that serve multiple school districts throughout the Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio regions. I also created and oversee an anytime, anywhere teacher professional learning solution called Edge*U Badges.

I wrapped up my Doctorate of Education in Leadership and Learning in Organizations from Peabody College at Vanderbilt University in the fall of 2021. My capstone research focused on instructional coach support and professional learning needs, and I'm excited to put that work to good use here for my readers.

Let's take this journey together!

Tech to You Later!
Katie Ritter, Ed.D.
